Mediation

Mediation is a means of resolving differences with the help of a trained, impartial third party. The parties, with or without lawyers, are brought together by the mediator in a neutral setting. A mediator does not represent either side and does not offer legal advice. Parties are encouraged to retain an attorney and other experts if needed, to advise them of their rights during the mediation process. The mediator helps the parties identify the issues, gather the information they need to make informed decisions, and communicate so that they can find a solution agreeable to both. Mediation is designed to facilitate settlements in an informal, non-adversarial manner. Once an agreement is reached the parties must then file for an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is usually a simple matter that is easily and quickly finalized.

The head of the Salvo Law Firm’s Divorce/Family Law practice, Karen Grayson-Rodgers, is a family law mediator, approved by the Superior Court of New Jersey.
